Lowering Spring Assistance needed!!!
Ok. Here is the deal. I want to lower my 2006 BSP xB. I am planning on running 18 Sportmax 002 wheels with the 3" lip if I can find them...the ones on the bbist xb were custom from what I could find out.
I want my car to sit real nice...not high riding...any suggestions?
Also, any other suggestions for rims from sizes 17"-18" with a big lip...I want to run teh carbon fiber flares...also, where can I get the ones without the rivets like the ones on bbist.com?
Thanks!!!

I saw the fender flares on ssuperstore.com....I was also just wanting a small drop with no issues with rubbing, I went with the TRD springs...I didn't even need an allignment when I had them installed and they carry a 12 month warrantee from Toyota

Your plan sound great until you mentioned the flares. Fender flares are just plain ugly. They are like a band aid on the side of a vehicle that covers up the fact that the wheels don't fit the body right.
Mod your box don't turn it into a box of Uncle Bens please!

So which springs are the best?
What is the best looking drop for 18's...I want a lip of some sort but I also want no fender flares after some consideration and looking around...

something around a 2' in the back should do you just fine. Don't buy cheap springs, you get what you pay for. Tein s-tech's should be fine.

i am running Skunk2 springs, they have an excellent ride but i would have liked a bit more of a drop, if i had to do it over again i would have gotten the tanable df210's for sure, i have not seen a box with them on it that i didnt like the ride height of...only reason i went with Skunk2 is because i didnt know about the tanable df210's
